When HelloFresh asked me to recreate one of their recipes for the blog I was instantly drawn to this lentil, vegetable and butter bean chilli. Although all of their recipes look delicious, this was just the kind of healthy, hearty food that I was in the mood for.

The chilli is very simple to throw together, but is full of flavour and very filling due to the lentils and butter beans. It is served with tasty coriander rice, creamy, zingy guacamole and strips of roasted courgette.

All together it is an impressive meal that is deceptively simple to make. The recipe said that it serves two, but it will actually easily feed three people unless you are truly ravenous.

What Is HelloFresh?:

If you haven’t yet heard of HelloFresh then where have you been?! They are a very popular meal kit service who provide recipe boxes and detailed instructions so that you can try out new and exciting meals every week.

You get to pick the recipes that take your fancy (there are plenty of veggie options) and just let them know how many servings you need and what time you would like your box delivered.

You are then sent a box full of fresh, quality ingredients which are already measured out for you, ready to cook your meals.

The detailed instruction cards walk you through the process, making cooking a breeze; and because you receive just the right amount of each ingredient there is no food waste! It is a perfect service for busy people who like fresh, home cooked food but are short on time.

How To Make Lentil, Vegetable and Butter Bean Chilli:

(For ingredients and full instructions see the recipe card below)

Lentil, vegetable and butter bean chilli ingredients

Start by heating up the oven, finely chopping up a red onion and slicing a red bell pepper into approx 2cm chunks.

Fry the chopped onion in some olive oil in a non-stick pan for about five minutes, until it has softened, then add the red pepper and cook for a couple more minutes.

Add cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, a pinch of chilli flakes (you can omit the chilli if you don’t like spice!) and some salt and pepper and cook for another minute or so.

Frying the vegetables and spices.

Meanwhile, boil 350ml water in a pot with some salt. Once it is boiling, add your rice to the pot, give it a stir and turn the heat to low. Cover the pot with a lid and leave on a low heat for ten minutes. After ten minutes have passed, turn off the heat and leave it to rest for 10 mins. Don’t peek under the lid until the 20 mins are up!

Once the rice is cooked, stir in some chopped fresh coriander.

Making the coriander rice

Add some red lentils to the pan of onions and peppers, along with a tin of chopped tomatoes and a splash of water. Bring it up to a simmer and cook for about fifteen minutes, stirring often, until the lentils are soft and the sauce has thickened.

After the lentils have been cooking for five minutes or so, add in a tin of rinsed and drained butter beans.

Cooking the chilli

While the chilli and rice are cooking, cut a courgette in half lengthways, chop each half into four lengths and then into 6cm sticks. Toss the courgettes in some olive oil, salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for 15 mins.

Roasting the courgette

Make the guacamole by scooping the flesh of an avocado into a bowl with some lime juice, salt and pepper. Mash it roughly with a fork.

Making the guacamole

Check the seasoning of the chilli and add more salt and pepper as required then serve with the rice, courgette and guacamole.

Did you know that in the UK each year, households waste 7 million tonnes of food?! (As a whole, not each!). This adds up to a total cost of £12.5bn, or about £700 per family.

That is a shockingly large amount of waste and so much of it is perfectly avoidable with a little bit of care and planning….

  • I've been quiet on here for a while as I just haven't had the time or energy for social media. Rest assured that I have still been working hard on recipes for the blog however! The latest recipe I have just posted is this vegan version of a traditional German stollen bread. It is rich, moist, studded with fruit, filled with marzipan and full of festive flavours. It is one of my absolute favourite Christmas treats so I'm thrilled to have perfected a vegan one (even if it did take four attempts!). What are your favourite festive bakes that you would like to see a vegan version of?

  • Happy weekend! If you fancy a weekend baking project then might I suggest this absolutely delicious vegan mincemeat cake? It is a wonderfully moist and flavorful cake that is great anytime but would also be perfect for using up a jar of mincemeat if you've had one too many mince pies at Christmas. It would also make a lovely alternative to a traditional Christmas cake if you aren't a fan of fruitcake. The recipe is on the blog, link in profile.

On a side note, just want to give a shout out to @blackvelvetstyling who provided the gorgeous 'Earl' backdrop in this photo. I absolutely love Sophie's backdrops, they may be paper but the print quality is amazing and they are totally matte to shoot on (they are also so much more affordable than painted boards!). This one was gifted but I have purchased lots of others and genuinely love them. Well worth checking out if you are in need of new backdrops. 🖤 #bvsbackdrops

Also, how lovely is this backdrop from Black Velvet Styling?! @blackvelvetstyling You would never be able to tell that it is actually paper and not a beautiful rustic wooden table!
